Any Station This Net

On December 28th, 2013, President Obama officially ended combat operations in Afghanistan. While tens of thousands of troops were called home and bases were abandoned, many soldiers on the ground continued to fight, including myself. These photographs serve as a visual diary reflecting the overwhelming sense of apathy felt by myself and many of the soldiers around me as we fought a war we had been told was over. "Any Station This Net" is a radio check procedure used when a soldier is attempting to establish contact with anyone available near them that's willing to respond.
